Kavre with Dolalghat ,Indrawati,Sunkoshi, and Bhotekoshi

 For me Kavre district in Bagmati zone  means Kavre  with Dolalghat ,Indrawati,Sunkoshi, and Bhotekoshi, which are great potential in tourism industry . We begin our journey from Koteswar,the deluxe bus was  with comfortable seats for passengers and  I loved the early morning time to travel to Kavre District from Kathmandu.It takes 38 minutes to travel from Kathmandu to Kavre. Approximate driving distance between Kathmandu and Kavre is 32 kms or 19.9 miles or 17.3 nautical miles . Travel time refers to the time taken if the distance is covered by a car. Kavre district is culturally rich with historical places like Dhulikhel, Panauti, Banepa and Chandeni Mandan.Koshipari (i.e. east of Dolalghat/Sunkoshi River) has very good prospect in tourism field. There are lots of adventurous places.

Dhulikhel is the major tourist spot of Kavre district and is famous for natural as well as historical reasons. Dhulikhel's is the administrative centre of Kavre district and is located a a distance of 30 km from Kathmandu and 4 km from Banepa. Located on a hilltop surrounded by lush greenery, the place has become a major tourist attraction. The proximity to both natural beauty and historic town has added to Dhulikhel's charm. Altitude ranges from1600 to 1700m and the place is far from the pollution and crowd. Dhulikhel's main attractions are the view of rows of snow-capped peaks. Devithan hillock renowned for viewing sunrise and sunset, historic Newar settlement and the artistic temples of the town.

Dhulikhel provides an imcomparable view of the Himalayan ranges, more than other tourist places. Dhulikhel is getting increasingly popular for picnics, gatherings, seminars and other programs. A large number of people, visit "Dhulikhel" in the weekends. Some stay overnight while others return at the end of the day. Due to the proximity to the city and good road connection. Dhulikhel is being viewed as an ideal retreat for the Kathmanduiters. Tourist on the way to Tibet also spend their night in Dhulikhel during the tourst season. The best time of year to visit Dhulikhel is in the autumn and winter seasons. There are many luxurious hotels and lodges operating in Dhulikhel connecting Kathmandu to the eastern Terai. Likewise, the Kodari Highway connects to the Chinese border 85 km to the North. The road distance to Kavre's Namobuddha is 15 km while Nagarkot could be reached after a 5-6 hour long hike. Once can also reach Namobuddha in 2-3 hours on foot taking a shortcut trails. 

Likewise Kailashnath Mahadev Statue  is the world's tallest Shiva statue. It is situated in Sanga, on the border of the Bhaktapur and Kavrepalanchwok districts in Nepal, about 20 km from Kathmandu. The statue is 144 feet (44 m) in height, and was made using copper, zinc, concrete, and steel.One love to travel there with family and enjoy the scenery .Travel is the ideal place to test yourself. It pushes people to their limits and gets them outside their comfort zone. You’ll discover how resourceful you are when you’re exposed to new places, people and experiences. 

We kept on traveling in same deluxe up to Dolalghat Kavre Market and from there we reached to Sunkoshi River where we began ritual with priests and lama.Sun Koshi in Nepali means “River of gold”. This name might have stuck with this river because small quantities of gold is panned from its sand. The rapids in this river, except for few cases, gradually become more complex. Hence, it is suitable for the first time rafters and for those who want to brush up their rafting/kayaking skills. The river itself starts from Tibetan border, passes through high mountains and valleys down, to the plains of Nepal and into the mighty Ganges in India.Dad with others started hymns there and we finished the ritual and returned back to hotel at the centre of Dolalghat market .

I took Nepali veg thali of Dal bhat tarkari.Dal Bhat  is traditionally served with vegetable tarkari (a mix of seasonal vegetables) and also known as Dal bhat tarkari. Along with this they also have yoghurt or a curry made of chicken, goat meat or fish and a small portion of chutney or pickle (achar). The Dal is cooked with tomatoes, onion, chili, garlic and ginger in addition to lentils or beans. It also contains herbs and spices such as coriander, garam masala, cumin seeds and turmeric. The recipe of Dal bhat can vary from locality,and family.After eating I travelled the local market on foot with friends on bus and we returned to Kathmandu in evening .
